This 2012 Mercedes G550 is not your typical silver G550. Aside from the low mileage (~19.8k miles), spotless interior/exterior and the meticulous care that's been given to the car (i.e. garaged), several cosmetic modifications were made to "de-bling" this modern, California G-Wagen. 1. Five 16x7.5" Mercedes Ashtaroth wheels were imported directly from the Mercedes factory in Germany to replace the louder 18" versions that come standard with the U.S. G550s. These are the same wheels that Mercedes puts on its armored G-Wagens abroad, they cost ~$550-600 per wheel. Mated to the five 16" Ashtaroth wheels are five Michelin A/T 265x75-16 tires (four have about 10k miles on them, the spare is completely unused) and the factory tire pressure monitoring system. 2. The flashy chrome spare tire carrier was replaced with a custom wheel cover made by www.gwagenaccessories.com. This wheel cover was then painted with the factory Mercedes silver color to match the body and a factory Mercedes star emblem was attached. The wheel cover actually opens and closes for storage inside the wheel and is lockable with an integrated combination lock. This addition was ~$1000. http://g-wagenaccessories.com/products/wheelcover.htm 3. The chrome running boards were removed and replaced with custom rock sliders, also from www.gwagenaccessories.com. These sliders are not only functional but they cover the exhaust on either side of the vehicle. For those who prefer the running boards, I still have those too and am happy to install them if needed. The rock rails were ~$900. http://g-wagenaccessories.com/products/LWBw463RockSlider.htm 4. The hood indicator lights were changed from clear to the factory amber. I still have the clear lenses if you 'd like me to switch them back before the vehicle is picked up or shipped. 5. Weathertech floor mats accompany the barely-used stock floor mats which are also in "as new" condition. This G550 still has about 6 months of factory warranty remaining and was purchased from R.A.B. Motors in Marin County with an additional year of Certified Pre-Owned warranty. Factory warranties are transferable to the new owner but please check to see if CPOs are transferable. The vehicle has 19,800 miles and the 20,000 mile service was just recently completed by R.A.B Motors in Marin County. No accidents, clean carfax, clean title, never off road, not in the salt belt of America. You will be hard pressed to find a cleaner and more tastefully modified G550.

New Die Hard movie wrecked 132 cars in $11 million chase scene [w/video]

Sat, 16 Feb 2013

It would seem the act of dying hard brings with it lots of wanton destruction of the four-wheeled kind. According to John Moore, director of A Good Day To Die Hard, starring Bruce Willis, There were 132 (cars) that could never be used again. Another 518 required a lot of work. And damn right there were some good cars there... That's the fun of it."
Please join us in one great big collective sigh. Done? Okay, let's continue.
"With Die Hard it's about how audacious the action is," says Moore. "So you have to drive over a Lamborghini. An actual one. And yes it hurts me. I'm a car fanatic." Yeah. Sounds like it hurt really bad... though not as bad as the final tally after all the carnage had been counted: "Someone showed me the numbers on the car chase and soup to nuts, you put it all together it was like an $11 million sequence."

Jalopnik and Consumer Reports see who can pull off the best snow drift

Fri, Feb 20 2015

The weather throughout much of the United States is pretty awful at the moment with some combination of extremely low temperatures, inches of snow and maybe some ice underneath it all. The folks at Jalopnik and Consumer Reports are making the absolute best out of a difficult situation by heading to CR's snow-covered test track and attempting to make the longest drift in a quartet of very different performance vehicles. Jalopnik brought along a Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG S Wagon, a Subaru WRX STI, a BMW 228i and a 1973 Volkswagen Baja Bug (heck yeah!) for the challenge. Also, the track was perfect for this group, with a mix of packed snow in places and still a few inches of unsullied powder in spots too. Ostensibly the goal was to get the tail to step out through a particular corner, but in reality this was more about having hilarious fun in the snow with fast cars. The result just looks like the best time humanly possible in this weather.

Mercedes-AMG GT3 thunders into Geneva debut [w/video]

Tue, Mar 3 2015

Mercedes-Benz took the opportunity to debut its replacement for the SLS AMG GT3 at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show today, showing off the new AMG GT3. Unlike the road car on which it's based, Mercedes ditched the turbocharged V8 for its awesome 6.3-liter V8, which also powered the GT3's predecessor. That's far from the only change found for the racing variant of the new model, however. Mercedes conducted a serious overhaul of the car's aerodynamics, fitting a huge rear wing and an equally enormous front splitter. The front bumper is also home to a quartet of winglets, which add even more downforce to the front end. As we suspected in our original post on the GT3, the rear of the car has been fitted with a none-too-subtle rear diffuser. The cooling needs of the track have also been enhanced, courtesy of large ducts on the fenders and a deep vent in the hood, while meaty slats sit over the front wheel wells. In addition to the rear diffuser, large ducts have been fitted to both sides of the rear bumper. The AMG GT3 looks like a compelling offer in the world of customer racers, although we won't know that for certain until it hits the track for some competition. That should be later this year at the earliest, as Mercedes is targeting late 2015 for the first customer deliveries. Check out our live gallery of images of the new AMG GT3, direct from the floor of the 2015 Geneva Motor Show. World premiere in Geneva for spectacular AMG racing car All-out attack : the new Mercedes-AMG GT3 Affalterbach. Mercedes-AMG will ring in the 2015 motorsport season at the beginning of March with the sonorous sound of the V8 engine: the new Mercedes-AMG GT3, with which the Mercedes-Benz sports car and high-performance brand is systematically expanding its motorsports presence, will be making its debut appearance at the Geneva Motor Show. Developed to comply with the FIA's GT3 race rules, the racing car will compete in the world's most hotly contested customer race series. Cutting-edge racing technology and spectacular design predestine the new challenger for victories. The new GT3 is based on the Mercedes-AMG GT, which is being launched in just a few days' time. Following an intensive test phase, the new AMG racing car will be shipped to the first customer teams at the end of 2015. The Mercedes-AMG GT3 will blaze new trails in customer sports with its intelligent vehicle concept.
